     in monetary fines and/or incarceration.  
     Export Administration Regulations (EAR): 
     As with ITAR, EAR also seeks to prevent unauthorized export of controlled items to foreign persons. EAR is administered by the 
     U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) to regulate commercial and dual-use items and technology 
     found on the Commerce Control List (CCL) to include 10 different categories and 5 product groups. To comply with BIS, a license 
     is required based upon the classification of a company’s item through the CCL. 
     Foreign Sales: 
     There are 2 ways product sales can be made to foreign governments - government to government sales under the Foreign 
     Military Sales program or Direct Commercial Sales (if product is not available for general commercial sales).
